Wines That Rock in Pittsburgh
Hello Pittsburgh
So we just got back from our quick trip to Pittsburgh. The folks over at Ditka's Restaurant hosted a Wines That Rock party this past Friday night and it was really a great event. The Chefs at Ditka's created some great appetizers & dishes and paired them with Wines That Rock.
In addition, DVE the local Rock Radio Station in Pittsburgh jammed out the tunes during the event. It was a classic food, music & wine pairing. We met lots of great people, drank some great wine, ate amazing food, and listened to some classic music. A Rocking good time in Pittsburgh!
Special thanks to our friend Michelle Michaels over a DVE. As soon as we got into town we stopped by the station and did a fun radio interview. Have a listen to Howard chatting it up with the folks at DVE.
The first of three events featured our Pink Floyd Cabernet. In the coming months, Ditka's has two upcoming events in July and August.
July 23 will feature the Rolling Stones 40 Licks Merlot and then in August 27th, Ditka's hosts the third Wines That Rock event featuring the Woodstock Chardonnay. Both upcoming events Ditka's restaurant will feature classic pairings of food, wine and music and you should make it a point to get over there for these events.

Wine and Music
Wine and Music
The initial challenge of crafting a wine to music. This was like building a bridge between the sense of sound and taste. No one doubts that particular aromas and flavors trigger emotional responses from us. The scent of pumpkin pie can take you back to Thanksgivings past, just like an album can turn back the hands of time. The area of the brain that is stimulated by music and flavor recognition are the same residence of your head.
My goal is to merge these two pleasurable sensations and link a linear path leading to a profound and significant synergy.
Tune into your glass. Wines That Rock.

Spec's Liquor Houston
Wines That Rock did its first official Tour of Texas May 19th - May 21st, visiting many Spec's stores in the Houston area. We met lots of new friends, snapped lots of photos, and had a great time!
Day 1 started in the Spec's store at 8102 Westheimer where we kicked things off in rock 'n roll style offering customers and staff members awesome tattoo's by the talented Kristi. We poured non-stop from 3 to 7 PM, introducing the Wines That Rock varietals to many savvy wine lovers. The Spec's team really helped and made the event fly by.
Day 2 got going with multiple trips to Spec's store throughout the region and ending with our tasting at the 3902 Bissonet location. The atmosphere was high energy, the video monitors and sound system kept the store rocking and the wine bottles were flying out of the cases.
Day 3 kicked into high gear with a tour of the northern most Houston Spec's stores with our tour guides Pat "I saw ELO in the 70's" Kelley and Ben "The Jet" Besio from Republic. We traveled the Houston highways meeting many Spec's wine consultants, all of who were very excited about working with Wines That Rock. Our Tour of Texas concluded with our last wine tasting at the Smith Street store...again the wine was flowing, tattoo's were inking and customers were rockin'!
Thank you Spec's for showing us that famous Texas hospitality...we can't wait to get to Austin!
